single and very large 4 

 white to deep crimson. 



These are so easily grown 

 from seed that we think in a 

 year or two the popular demand 

 will be for seed instead of tubers. 

 The beautiful new introductions 

 of the past two seasons afford 

 single and double flowers in 

 wonderful variety, all classes 

 coming quite true from seed, and 

 supplying magnificent colors. 

 In the garden these seedling 

 Dahlias bloom as early and freely 

 as the plants grow from tubers. 

 Dahlias should have good rich 

 soil. Pinching out the points of 

 growths tends to dwarf the plants 

 and also incites to earlier flower- 

 ing.

DIMORPHOTHECA Aurantiaca. A wonderfully free-flowing 

 plant from- South Africa that has proved itself worthy of its many 

 tributes of praise. It begins flowering in small pots six weeks after 

 sowing and forms a nice pot-plant. In the garden it is a continual 

 sheet of bloom; faded flowers must be removed to sustain vigor. 

 About August I a mulching of manure will assist new growth and 

 succession of flowers. The manj'-petaled flowers are deep orange 

 or ochre-yellow with a black zone at base and a small brown disc.
